Our "niche" is identifying talent
and representing career opportunities that
make the most of it.
It all begins with TALENT, but
just what is talent, anyway?
According to
the following entry with
Merriam-Webster, "talent" is observed with respect to the measure of it's value, aptitude, intelligence, disposition,
natural abilities, identity within a group and
subject matter expertise.
talent
Main Entry: tal·ent
Pronunciation:
'ta-l&nt
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Old English
talente, from Latin talenta, plural of talentum
unit of weight or money, from Greek talanton pan of a scale,
weight; akin to Greek tlEnai to bear; in senses 2-5, from the
parable of the talents in Matthew 25:14-30.
1 a : any of several ancient units of weight
b : a unit of value equal to the value of a talent of
gold or silver
2 archaic : a characteristic
feature, aptitude, or disposition of a person or animal
3
: the natural endowments of a person
4 a : a special often creative or artistic aptitude
b
: general intelligence or mental power
: ability
5 : a person of talent or a group of persons of talent
in a field or activity"
In the context of experienced-hire recruiting, we would add that
"talent" is much more than natural ability or potential; or even possessing
the minimum skills, attributes and years of experience set forth in a job
description. No, "Talent" can only be observed when those skills and attributes
are displayed with consistency. In other words, "talent" means having a track record
for high-performance.
The most successful candidates we work with have a keen understanding of their
employment value in terms of the functional, economic, intrapersonal and cultural
contributions they make to an organization.
If you have not done so lately, we encourage you
to take inventory of your skills, talents and professional accomplishments.
The
attributes listed above are a great place to start but let us know if we
can help you with charting your unique talent profile. |
